Chuck,
Got another one for you. Here's 803.13.B-
B. Disc Entrapment Devices: In order to
hole out, the thrower must release the disc
and it must come to rest supported by the
chains and/or the inner cylinder (bottom and
inside wall) of the tray. It may be additionally
supported by the pole. A disc observed by two
or more players of the group or an official to
have entered the target below the top of the
tray or above the bottom of the chain support
is not holed out.
Attached is an "ace" that i threw yesterday in a casual round. I call it ace because it is supported by "the inner cylinder (bottom and inside wall) of the tray".
It is obviously not exclusively supported by "the inner cylinder (bottom and inside wall) of the tray", but it is definitely supported.
They way the current rules are written, if this happened in a tournament, I would feel obligated to demand ace pool money and I would mark it a 1 on the card.
The rule needs to be fixed. The wording should be "....it must come to rest supported EXCLUSIVELY by the chains and/or the inner cylinder (bottom and inside wall) of the tray."
I am interested to hear your thoughts on this. Please share.
PS That is hole #15 at Cass Benton in Northville, MI.
